Received: 28 January 2019; Accepted: 30 May 2019; Published: 4 June 2019 Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly changing our society to a world where every “thing” is connected to the Internet, making computing pervasive like never before. This tsunami of connectivity and data collection relies more and more on the Cloud, where data analytics and intelligence actually reside. Cloud computing has indeed revolutionized the way computational resources and services can be used and accessed, implementing the concept of utility computing whose advantages are undeniable for every business. However, despite the benefits in terms of flexibility, economic savings, and support of new services, its widespread adoption is hindered by the security issues arising with its usage. From a security perspective, the technological revolution introduced by IoT and Cloud computing can represent a disaster, as each object might become inherently remotely hackable and, as a consequence, controllable by malicious actors.

There are challenges in adopting cloud computing; but with obstacles, we have opportunities for research in several aspects of cloud computing. One of the main issue is the data security and privacy of information stored and processed at the cloud service provider’s systems. In this work, we surveyed several research works on cloud computing related to security challenges and privacy issues. The primary goal of this paper is to provide a insight into the security challenges of cloud computing and fy approaches and solutions which have been proposed and adopted by the cloud service.

  • Mitigating Cloud Vulnerabilities
    National Security Agency | Cybersecurity Information Mitigating Cloud Vulnerabilities While careful cloud adoption can enhance an organization’s security posture, cloud services can introduce risks that organizations should understand and address both during the procurement process and while operating in the cloud. Fully evaluating security implications when shifting resources to the cloud will help ensure continued resource availability and reduce risk of sensitive information exposures. To implement effective mitigations, organizations should consider cyber risks to cloud resources, just as they would in an on-premises environment. This document divides cloud vulnerabilities into four classes (misconfiguration, poor access control, shared tenancy vulnerabilities, and supply chain vulnerabilities) that encompass the vast majority of known vulnerabilities. Cloud customers have a critical role in mitigating misconfiguration and poor access control, but can also take actions to protect cloud resources from the exploitation of shared tenancy and supply chain vulnerabilities. Descriptions of each vulnerability class along with the most effective mitigations are provided to help organizations lock down their cloud resources. By taking a risk-based approach to cloud adoption, organizations can securely benefit from the cloud’s extensive capabilities. This guidance is intended for use by both organizational leadership and technical staff. Organizational leadership can refer to the Cloud Components section, Cloud Threat Actors section, and the Cloud Vulnerabilities and Mitigations overview to gain perspective on cloud security principles. Technical and security professionals should find the document helpful for addressing cloud security considerations during and after cloud service procurement. Cloud Components Cloud architectures are not standardized and each Cloud Service Provider (CSP) implements foundational cloud services differently.

According and systems. to NIST [1] Cloud computing is a model for convenient, on- Azure was announced in October 2008 and released on 1 demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, February 2010 as Windows Azure, before being renamed applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and to Microsoft Azure on 25 March 2014. Along with Amazon released with minimal management effort or service provider Web Services, Azure is considered a leader in the IaaS interaction. Rather than lots of features it is also having field.[3] security issues. Sometimes the data kept on cloud can be misused or stolen.
